Product Description

Laptops have often been seen as the domain mainly of students and businessmen. However, they are also an excellent option for senior users: their mobility means that they can be used in any location and with the advent of wireless technology they can be used in a variety of public places to surf the Web or keep in touch with family and friends. Laptops for Seniors in Easy Steps shows how these portable computers are ideal for the over 50s.

The book begins by covering some of the ergonomic issues surrounding laptops and shows how to be as comfortable as possible when using them and transporting them. It then gives an overview of the workings of laptops, including the software that is provided with them. Issues such as using your laptop on vacation and sharing it with other family members are then looked at, to show how laptops are versatile and family-friendly.

Extensive coverage is also devoted to networking and using a laptop wirelessly, with particular attention given to accessing the Internet from wireless locations (Hot Spots) such as airports, coffee shops and libraries.

Laptops for Seniors in Easy Steps demonstrates that the over 50s can have the freedom to take their computing and wireless technology with them at all times and be fully paid up members of the mobile computing revolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help the aged!!, 12 Sep 2008

R. J. Dalgreen (West Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Laptops for Seniors in Easy Steps (Paperback)

got "Internet for Seniors" as well as the "laptops for seniors" for my 56 year old mum who has no computer experience at all. I'd highly recommend both, they have alot of screenshots to make things clear, with little tips on things to remember and things not to forget. There are some good sites listed in the book as well such as quizzes and crossword sites that she has enjoyed going on. I got these instead of the "For Dummies" series as i wanted to avoid any Americanisms, i'm happy that i made the right choice, and mum can now happily send and recieve e mails with attachments and browse and buy things online. (she was scared to write a review though!)

3.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, but is only for Windows Vista, 6 Dec 2007

J. D. M. Wood - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Laptops for Seniors in Easy Steps (Paperback)

This looks pretty good but please be aware it is for Windows Vista only and not XP.

This means that much of it is not very useful if the recipient has Windows XP.
